HOUSE BAGS.
They Are Caef al for Varloaa Parpoaea
Decidedly Convenient.
There are few things that conduce
more to an orderly management of the
house than a full supply of household
bags. These bags, when used for utili
tarian purposes, like holding dust
cloths, soiled clothes or any similar
purpose, should be made of washable
material. The value of a set of bag
for soiled clothes over a hamper of
willow-ware will be a subject of dis
pute. A hamper is. more convenient,
but the bags are cheaper, and by using
several the fine clothes may be kept
separate from the bedding and coarser
clothes. In any event it is convenient
to have a small laundry bag to hold
cufls and collars separate from the
other clothes.
One of the most useful of all house
hold bags is a clothespin bag. It is ;
more convenient to use than a basket j
which must be held in the hand or set
down, where it must be continually I
BEWITCHING TEA GOWNS
Filmy, Gracefal Creation That Art
DellEbtfully Feminine
and Fluffy
The man who said that "grace is tht
beauty of form under the influence of
freedom"' may have been inspired by
the eight of a handsome woman in a
handsome neglige gown. One thing is
certain, and that is that no variety of
dress is more graceful than the Iong
flowirg, semiloose tea gown. Every
woman who can afford to do so shoul l
indulge in the luxury of at least one
elaborate garment of this kind. Thos?
who can alTord several are the envy of
their friends. The tea gown really has
a niueh-to-be-di'sirrd influence on the
wearer. It makes the poor feel rich
and the rich richer and gives one a
sense of ease, freedom and luxury that
no other frock, however fine, imparts.
If a woman has the figure which suits
this gown, she is more attractive in
this style of dress than any other. This
perhaps explains the fondness of wom
en srenerallv for it. to sav nothing of

Did von ever know any man so ab
sent-minded ns to forget he had a wife
while walking in the street with her?
Judge Thomas, of Dearborn street, a
brother of Congressman Thomas, of
Michigan, tells a good story on himself
which aptly illustrates this curious '
phase of psychological phenomena.
"We were living on the South side at
the time," he said, "and one night, in
company with Mrs. Thomas. I went tc
hear a lecture in Central Music hall. I
do not recall the name of the lecturer,
but that cuts no ice in this story. As
we were coming out of the hall at the
close, I happened to think of a letter in
my pocket which I ha-d forgotten to
mail or post, as John Pull would say.
"We walked as far south as the Pal
iner house, and I left Mrs. Thomas
standing for a few moments at Monroe
street while I hastened in to post my
letter. We were intending to take a
south-bound car together as soon as I j
came out. but for some reason what
was it? my errand caused me to for- j
get all about my wife. Did some other j
spirit possess my body while I was tak- j
ing an astral flight? At any rate. 11

my waiting wife, and hastened away to j
Adams street and boarded a car alone. I

Surely I've lost something,' aid I tc
myself, but for the life of me I couldn't
tell what it was. In great perplexity
I had gone as far as Van Buren street
before it suddenly flashed into my
mind. "why. your wife, of course!' I
hurried back, you may be sure, but I
don't pretend to remember what my
wife had to say about the matter."

Capon and Wrapa.
The new capes and wraps are exceed
ingly eccentric in appearance. They
are all made to look very long and nar
row about the shoulders, showing that
small sleeves are to stay in fashion for
quite awhile. Many of the capes are
made of peau de scie, some are of satiu,
but those that are seen at present are
of taffeta silk in all the queer, old
fashioued shade. There is a shade of
preen, for instance, trimmed with nar- !
row black velvet ribbon. The capes fit
close over the shoulders, but broaden
out around the waist. Sometimes they I
are made with a double cape, but most j
have but cue, and the trimming eon- I

The collar is very high and flaring, and

p!ifiie put on garland fa-hinn. The j
material is pale blue liberty silk, and
opens over a full front and skirt of j
filmy yellowish lace falling fnmi a but-
terfly bow at the corsage. The same j
style carrl"d out in turquoise blue ein- ;

than roe pink or apricot wrought in

Silk muslin, made over soft, un
stilTened satin, is one of the best ma
terials for tea gowns at the present
moment, and the mode of making in
everv ca-- seems to be inexplicable.
In the hand the robe apparently has no
shape at all. but when on. what with
soft sashes, crush belts, jeweled gir
dles, and no end of ribbon bows, it
clings to the figure here and therein
the mot graceful fashion. The more
diaphanous and indescribable such
gowns are the more fashionable. For
a tall, graceful woman nothing could
be more excellent than a tea gown lika
the one shown, of orient satin, in the
ivory tint so becoming alike to dark
and fair. A handsome girdle of gilt
filigree, studded with semiprecious
stones, encircles the waist, falling al
most to the bottom of the skirt in
front. Long sleeves and a neglige
jacket of soft point d'esprit net ap
plique in a scroll design, with lace and
a fichu of chiffon, complete this ar
tistic creation. Many of the imported
tea gowns are made of accordion-plaited
chiffon falling from a yoke of fine
lace. and. were it not for the expense
of the materials, would look for all the
world like the old-time Mother Hub
bard wrapper, which every woman
with an exquisite sense of neatness de
tested in her innermost heart.
Plain and dotted net. foulards, plain
and fancy silks, and brocaded and plain
satin are all made into negiige gowns,
as well a- all gauzy materials. Many
of the swellest tea gowns are cut low
and have elbow sleeves made of piece
lace: then a lace scurf H thrown about
the reck with studied carlessness. and
its long ends are allowed to fall down
ward. There is everything in this de
partment to tempt a woman to part
wilh a large part of her income. X. V

set strawberries the first year, and on

double the size of the former in the
first two years, besides the trees were
much healthier.
This tausht me not to grow any
crop which matured its seed during
the growing season of the trees. See
ing my mistake, though too late, I lm-

vines and devoted the ground entirely
to tl.r trees. The result was surprisir g,

Daintiness is that undcfinable qual
ity m a girl which causes her to ap
pear more charming than those around
her; it is an attribute that is .seldom
inborn, but the result of culture. She
s certain of making a good impres
sion where others iguominiously fail
to do so. a fact which causes jealousy
and makes those who are not dainty
look on with envious admiration, and
wish that they, too. possessed the sub
tle charm.
Daintiness, however, though not in
herited, is the outcome of habit. A girl
is dainty because she has been accus
tomed to give thought and time to be
ing agreeable to others. Thus it
comes natural to her. ller wealth of
hair always so glossy and carefully
trained owes its satiny appearance to
the fact that she brushes it regularly
and frequently, and not solely when
she feels in a mood to do so. or when
she desires to look extra nice, ller
pretty, soft hands, with their f hell-like

vet these capes are only used as driv

just as well, perhaps, for at present
they are so markedly different from
anything that has been worn that they
look a trifle conspicuous. The ten
dency of capes is apparently to
elongate into a point at the back, and
sometimes at back and front both,
much after the fashion of a shawl.

Take a common starch box with a.
sliding lid. Tut the eggs in the box.
and upon an oyster shell or other suit
able substance place a teaspoonful of
sulphur. Set fire to the sulphur, and
when the fumes begin to rise briskly
shut up the lid, make the box tight,
and do not disturb it for half an hour.
Now take out the eggs, pack in oats,
and the job is done. If the oats or pack
ing material be treated to the same
process it will be all the better. If a
barreb'ul is to be preserved, place the
eggs in a tight barrel two-thirds full,
with no packing whatever. Fire a
pound of sulphur upon a suitable sub
stance on top of the eggs in the vacant
space over them, shut up tightly, let
stand an hour and then take out the
eggs. As the gas is much heavier than
air it will sink to the bottom, or rather
fill up the barrel with the fumes. In
another barrel or box place some oats,
and treat in the same way. Now pack j
the eggs in the oat. dead up tne oarrei.
and turn the barrel every day to pre
vent falling of the yolks, using each
end alternately, and they will keep a
year, or. according to the efliciency of
the operation, a shorter or longer
time.
It will be seen by the above that the
process is a dry and neat one. and very
inexpensive, sulphur being a very
cheap article. The process was sold
several years ago by certain parties as
"Ozone," but is an old one. and the par
ties were exposed, not that the procesi
was a fraud, but because they sold a
